Tuning caps almost NEVER need replacement. Use caution. Canned clean air that is diffused will get rid of the dust. Be careful of the pressure, you do not want to chance bending the plates. I also use a NEW CLEAN very soft bristle brush. Getting any residue from things like contact cleaner will defined the cap. As for the static when turning the cap, look for the thin leaf springs that make contact with the main shaft. Very gently lict and clean the contact area and the shaft area where the leafs make contact. After you can use something like a tookpick to add conductive grease or other such as WD40. When doing this do not get any on Ny part of a plate. Sounds more difficult than it is.
